I’m preparing for craft fairs, cooking, dressing the dogs in blaze orange finery, and anticipating the dreaded holiday family get-togethers. We’ve all been there, sitting around the table with Aunt Gertie and Uncle Jasper, and someone asks you about Your Hiking Thing. After all the requisite jokes about the Bataan Death March and how the only hiking Cousin Fred is doing this year is to the fridge and back to the couch… someone asks you the why question. Why do you do it? Why a list? Why in the winter? And especially why if there is no view at the top? I have said it before: the Catskill Forest Preserve is my temple and my gym. The oft repeated John Burroughs quote rings true for me: I too go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order.

  • Ashokan High Point Distance: 7.5 Miles Time: 5 ½ Hours Vertical Rise: 1,980 Feet

    Ashokan High Point Distance: 7.5 Miles Time: 5 ½ Hours Vertical Rise: 1,980 Feet

    Ashokan High Point Distance: 7.5 miles Time: 5 ½ hours Vertical rise: 1,980 feet The trail to Ashokan High Point's summit is an old settlement road that has been so well built that it requires little maintenance. The surface is hard-packed dirt and gravel, where few seedlings will hold. It has been so well drained in past years that erosion has caused little damage. Old stone walls and ditch construction protect it from the advancing forest. Only the overhanging boughs that occasionally you will duck under betray any need for trail maintenance, much of which is done by a few loyal hikers and the Boy Scouts. Because it is so little known, the trail also is quite clean. All things considered-it is a rare find in an era earmarked by overuse and exploitation. The trail to High Point shows on the NY-NJTC map as a dotted line, keyed as an unmarked trail. The map is accurate to a point. It shows the correct route to the summit, but omits some side trails that might cause confusion. Don't let the lack of marking deter you, however. The moderate-difficulty trail is self-guiding in its entirety, and it is hard to get lost if you pay attention to the map and text. Find the trailhead by turning south on NY 28A from NY 28 in Boiceville east of Phoenicia. Follow 28A for three miles to West Shokan. Here, Peekamoose Road (County Route 42) runs uphill along the Bush Kill. After 3.9 miles, you will see on the left a parking area.

    Govert Loockermans (1617?-1671?) and His Relatives: How an Adolescent from Turnhout Worked His Way up in the New World

    Govert Loockermans (1617?-1671?) and his relatives: How an adolescent from Turnhout worked his way up in the New World Willem Frijhoff (Erasmus University, Rotterdam / VU-University, Amsterdam) [Revised version, January 7, 2016] Summary This contribution aims at painting a picture of the person, the strategy and career of Govert Loockermans, paying special attention to the relationship he and his family in the New World had with Turnhout, and to the role played by the complex network of his relatives in the formation of New Netherland and of New York. He abandoned his Catholic Faith, and it appears that he soon ceased all contact with his blood relatives in Turnhout. He was not only a vigilant and cunning merchant, who amassed a large fortune for that time, but also a ruthless pioneer. We could see him as an icon of the current Wall Street capitalist. Either way, he was a man who helped determine and shape the age he lived in. His destiny continues to fascinate us. Govert Loockermans, the American hero from Turnhout, is the classic example of the ‘famous unknown’ gracing so many history books. He does not appear in any national dictionary, nor is he counted among the about thirty ‘famous Turnhoutenaren’ on the Turnhout tab of Wikipedia. Some of his deeds in the founding history of the country that later would become the United States are indeed very well known—even if not always flattering—but the history of his life in New Amsterdam, present day New York, has only been told a handful of times.

We need your timely response by September 30th to stay in compliance with our by-laws. Thank you in advance! As this issue of The Canister went to press, all members in good standing (i.e., a member who is either a life member or is up to date with their dues) have been already notified of the vote. As a reminder, the ballot form can be found here and your responses should be forwarded to this address.

    Heliography on Thomas Cole

    THE CATSKILL CANISTER Vol. VI, No. 1 WINTER 1 9 7 3 HELIOGRAPHY ON THOMAS COLE In Vol * V, No * 2, Spring 1972, we proposed an exercise to find out once and for all whether Thomas Cole can be seen from Slide Moun- tain, The plan as proposed was to divide into two parties, one to give signals by mirror and light from Thomas Cole, the other to ob- serve by means of a Wild T 1 theodolite on Slide, The participants on Thomas Cole were Franklin Clark (#33) Leader, Wini Clark, Bill Lawson (#78), Anneliese Lawson (#89), Erika Lawson (#90), Bill Leavitt (#1), Elinore Leavitt (#2), David Clapper, and Ann Clapper (#13). The Slide team consisted of Ed West (#45) Leader, Pro- fessor Samuel Owen, College of Engineering, Rutgers University (aspir- ant), Richard King, class of '74, John Mayer, class of '75 (first Cat- skill peak for both), Wayne Hartman (aspirant), Rickey Brooks (#128), Tommy Brooks (#129) and Jim Brooks (aspirant). We met early on the 16th of September at Maplecrest for last min- ute plans. Prearranged signals called for the Thomas Cole party to stop on the top of Black Dome for "dry runs" with the mirror at 2:00 and 2:30 p.m. Then they were to move quickly to Cole and to flash the signal every half hour from 3:00 to 4:30. Beginning at 7:30 and contin- uing until 9:00, the signals were to be given with a small search- light borrowed from the Shandaken Fire Company,concluding with another "dry run" from Black Dome at 9:30 to check the method.
